Zly.ii: The Hacked Station

Zly.ii The Hacked Station is a first person scifi adventure game with challenging puzzles, made for the 10th anniversary of the Black Cube series (ASA: A Space Adventure, Catyph, Myha, Kitrinos, Boinihi, all available on Steam), commonly compared to such games such as Myst or Rhem, or to escape games. Storyline "You are an astronaut from planet Terra who has been invited to the Table of the TSP - Terran Space Pirates, because one of the members, also your friend, is missing. Your mission is to go to the Catyph planetary system to use the Kunci, a kind of stargate, which will teleport you to the last presumed location of your friend. She was looking for a rare Black Cube, an alien artefact with various powers. After using the kunci, you realize that you have to explore an old Anterran space station, but you are stuck there with no way to go back. In addition you can't find your friend, and you feel that a hostile presence is looking at every of your actions in this dark place..." About Zly.ii was made in Unity with 360° panoramic views (prerendered backgrounds and video cutscenes). It uses the traditional art style of the Black Cube series, quite simple with a nice retro touch. The logical puzzles are in the continuation of the Black Cube classics, requiring to explore, observe, understand and take notes on paper to make connections. The gameplay mainly uses the mouse ; keyboard is sometimes necessary to input passwords/commands, or to display the menu (echap). Zly.ii can be played without knowing the previous episodes, the necessary story elements being brought through the narration (of course knowing the other episodes will enrich your experience). There's no recommendation as to which game to play first in the Black Cube series, and Zly.ii is a good place to start. Features - Visit the forgotten Anterran space station Zly.ii.
